Zoning & Planning Updates

Please go to the Zoning & Planning Committee page for more information on the following:

*Malibu Wines  We were recently informed that they have requested a modification of their original application and asking for a 20% increase in occupancy plus an extension of operating hours. WHNC requested mail notifications be sent to residents within 300-500 feet of the site.  Malibu Wines is tentatively scheduled to be on the October 14 Zoning & Planning Committee meeting Agenda.

*Starbucks Drive Thru Coffee Shop  Case #ZA-2024-5222-CU2-ZBA   Notice of Public Hearing      EMAIL NOW all comments on the proposed project to [email protected]  Include Case File #: ZA-2024-5222-CU2-ZBA in the subject line.  At the end of your email add your full name, address and contact information.  After the Zoning Administrator reviews comments and a Letter of Determination is issued there will be an opportunity for an Appeal.  There was a Special Zoning & Planning Committee ZOOM meeting on Thursday, 9/18/25.  9/29/25 Zoning & Planning Position Letter  

*SB 79  Send emails TODAY! SB79 is now before Governor Newsom for his signature by October 12.  The City of LA and communities that include single-family neighborhoods will lose local control over sensible planning decisions.  If SB79 becomes law, there will be more high-density building (some as tall as 75 ft), more traffic and pollution, streets overflowing with more parked vehicles and a decline in public safety.  Send a message to Governor Newsom:  DO NOT SIGN SB79!  Address emails to his Legislative Affairs office:  Deputy Legislative Secretary Myles White,:  [email protected]  Subject Line: DO NOT SIGN SB79! 

On August 19, 2025 the City Council voted In Favor of the  Resolution in opposition to SB79 sponsored by Councilmembers Lee and Park. Mayor Bass signed the Resolution opposing the measure unless it is amended to exempt cities with a state-approved and compliant housing element. 

*L.A. City Charter Reform-The Charter governs the structure and operation of City government. The L.A. City Charter Reform Commission will make recommendations and revisions to be approved by the City Council and the Mayor.  The public has the opportunity to give opinions throughout the process.  The revised Charter will be on the General Election November 2026 ballot.  Meetings for October 2025 

*Woodlake Apts (Circle S Ranch Property)-We are unable to relay updates because City Planning has not posted information, responded to emails or made available to the community documents relevant to this project.  The project developer has not responded to WHNC requests for 3-D renderings and a site visit.  

*Chaminade Expansion -*August 8, 2025 City Council FINAL APPROVAL       Council File #25-0574      Final Ordinance effective 9/21/25
